Robert Allenby arrested at Illinois casino
Here’s the latest installment in the “Ongoing Saga of Robert Allenby.” The 45-year-old Australian golfer missed the cut on Friday at the John Deere Classic. Not a spectacular occurrence, but his weekend got even worse early Saturday morning when he was arrested shortly after 2 a.m. outside of a Rock Island, Ill., casino.
Allenby was reportedly charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing as a result of his behavior at Jumer’s Casino, where he was staying.
What the heck does this really mean? It’s unclear at this point. And Allenby is taking a similar tack as he did following his disputed January 2015 kidnapping in Hawaii. The golfer stated “there’s no story” with regards to his arrest after posting $1,500 bond.
“I don’t know anything that’s going on, so you can say whatever you want,” Allenby told USA Today Sports, adding, “There’s nothing to be said or done about. Nothing happened…I have no idea, mate. No idea.’’
Well, neither do we.
For now, here’s the official word, per what a Rock Island County Police Department spokesperson told the Australian Associated Press
“Robert Allenby was arrested for disorderly conduct and criminal trespass from Jumer’s Casino on August 13th at about 2.29 a.m. He was transported to Rock Island County Jail and we do believe he has bonded out.”

Photos from the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship
GolfWRX is live this week at the Wells Fargo Championship as a field of the world’s best golfers descend upon Charlotte, North Carolina, hoping to tame the beast that is Quail Hollow Club in this Signature Event — only Scottie Scheffler, who is home awaiting the birth of his first child, is absent.
From the grounds at Quail Hollow, we have our usual assortment of general galleries and WITBs — including a look at left-hander Akshay Bhatia’s setup. Among the pullout albums, we have a look inside Cobra’s impressive new tour truck for you to check out. Also featured is a special look at Quail Hollow king, Rory McIlroy.
Be sure to check back throughout the week as we add more galleries.

He’s only doing what is right of passage for all aussie males. Travel overseas, get smashed, get arrested, forget what happened, start again.
